Steam for Linux

Hi,I am on the latest public beta of SS3, I have my 3 Performance settings set at Medium, and still I get only 7fps.I am on Ubuntu 12.04 Cinnamon, I am using AMD 12.11 beta 11 drivers.My CPU is an Intel i7 2.93GHzMy GPU is an AMD Radeon HD 6780and I have 14GB DDR3 RAM.any thoughts as to why my frame rate is so low? or should i continue to wait for the game and steam to be stabilized?

Sorry, that was a typo on my side! I meant powersettings on the CPU, not GPU. You can turn it off in the BIOS (the nuclear version - but safest), or switch the governor to performance. You now have the "ondemand" governor and it is running the CPU at minimum clock when the game is launched.

Thanks AlenL... I have seen other people being told they should turn off power saving in their BIOS and i did look for it... but unfortunatly I cannot see any power saving options in the BIOS. I have a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R. Lots of options for Overclocking, but nothing stood out to me as being for power saving.In windows there is a Gigabyte program for controlling power saving features, but that was turned off when i moved to Linux.

no good... i set the CPU governor to Performance, Updated my bios and when through all the settings.. I used auto detect settings in SS3 and it chose Ultra, High, High.. but with these settings i get FPS between 0.65 and 6.53... guess i will have to continue to wait for things to improve.

thanks for everyones help. When i started Steam today, the steam client updated and so did SS3. now with medium settings i get between 20 and 33FPS when outdoors and between 80 and 143FPS inside/underground. much more playable now. Water still kills the FPS though. and i still get flickering shadows... and i still cant use the right-click without the menu popping up.. but we are getting there.
